NHS EPRR core standards assurance evidence for trusts and ICBs
PDP entries for every on-call commander, mapped to the Minimum Occupational Standards and your annual Core Standards return.
The evidence problem
Every trust and integrated care board submits an annual EPRR Core Standards self-assessment, and the training and exercising domain is where evidence is thinnest. Attendance at a study day is not the same as a commander having exercised a role and had the performance recorded.
The Minimum Occupational Standards for EPRR expect every on-call commander to have a personal development plan with evidence against the standards for their level. For an on-call rota of thirty people, that is thirty plans to keep current.
Live exercises happen once or twice a year and involve a fraction of the rota. The rest of the year the evidence gap grows, and the return is assembled from what can be found in the weeks before the deadline.
Also in scope
- NHS Minimum Occupational Standards for EPRR commanders
What Maitris gives you
- A personal development plan entry per commander per exercise, mapped to the standards for their level
- Training and exercising domain evidence generated through the year, ready for the annual return
- Strategic, tactical and operational commanders exercised on the same incident
The AI generates the scenario and compiles the evidence. Your named assessor decides competence.
